Facebook page calls for beating Saudi women drivers

More extremely progressive, tolerant views from those nice people in the middle east...

A campaign has been launched on Facebook calling for men to beat Saudi women who drive their cars in a planned protest next month against the ultra-conservative kingdom's ban on women taking the wheel.

^ ^ This is a surprise to you? Someone claimed Saudi Arabia is on the leading edge of expanding women's rights?

As long as they keep that Facebook page in their country I'm cool with that.

Hypothetically speaking, if you've seen some of them drive, you might agree that them driving should be discouraged by any method....

Come to Dearborn and watch them drive their MLs into each other while on the phone in the Kroger parking lot....

It's a once a week occurrence here.

You see, they don't get tickets because the police " don't want problems..." so it's just an insurance issue.

I wish the state troopers patrolled here, they ticket everyone...

Probably... They probably won't be looking where they're going, or knowing what the other cars around them are doing either...

There's this thing called sarcasm. It doesn't work for everybody.

Uh ..Marcie, Do you REALLY care about other societies where women are beaten.
Or is it just another anti Hodgie Rant? ( your Classic liberal perspective)
